For the improvement of space photovoltaic cell efficiency, an astromesh deployable concentrator for space concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) system is proposed. A deployable solar parabolic concentrator with an aperture radius of 3 m and a concentration power of 35 kW has been designed. The astromesh deployable concentrator has a high degree of solar...

One of the best ways to identify and design a system is simulating and to achieve this goal, we use simulation software such as MATLAB Simulink. In this study, the relations ruling photovoltaic is described. Then, on the relations basis, a photovoltaic system is simulated in MATLAB software. After photovoltaic system simulation, regardless the spec...
